Prelimanry K6-3 benchmarks:
206.132.42.114
From www.anandtech.com
"Windows 98 has always been the Pentium II's domain in terms of overall
performance simply because its L2 cache performance would increase
with every clock increase, unlike the K6-2. With the L2 cache of the
K6-3 being on-chip, Intel has been booted from the top of the charts,
and replaced by the third generation K6 processor. At 350MHz, the K6-3
gives the Pentium II 450 and Celeron 450A a run for their money, at
400MHz AMD already has the fastest business processor, and at
450MHz, the K6-3 sees no competition at all. Even under Winstone 99, a
benchmark that seems to perform better on Intel processors/chipsets,
the K6-3 still comes out on top by a fairly large margin. An 8%
performance differential exists between the K6-3 450 and a Pentium II
450 under Winstone 99, a difference that is expressed as a 12% gap
under Winstone 98. The bottom line? The K6-3, clock for clock, is,
without a doubt, faster than the Pentium II in business applications."
"Under Windows NT, the K6-3 still remains dominant, even in comparison
to Intel's Pentium II, which is definitely a great accomplishment. Even at
350MHz, the K6-3's L2 & L3 cache performance outshines the Pentium
II 400, and at 400MHz, the Pentium II 450 is closely trailing AMD and the
K6-3 lead the pack with no competition."
He hasn't uploded the graphs yet, probably because his server is fully maxed out.
I haven't said this since my first posts here, but do I sense a cringe by the Intelabees???
Can't wait until February when the chip comes out! |
